👋 Folks, I'm starting a new series of Entra Hardening tips from today.
Here's how it will work. One new tip every weekday (I take a break on weekends).

Tip #1: Privileged accounts in Entra ID should be cloud native identities
If your privileged accounts in Entra ID are synced from on-prem AD then you have a problem.
Attackers that compromise your on-prem infrastructure can pivot to the cloud, into Entra ID and gain access to the cloud servers, data, Microsoft 365 and other SaaS apps.
Why?
We've seen this happen multiple times. The biggest ones have been Solorigate (compromise ADFS and pivot to cloud), other examples include Storm-0501 (compromise AAD Connect server) and more.
The Fix?
Reduce the blast surface. Don't allow accounts synced from on-prem to be granted privileged roles.
Instead create admin accounts natively in Entra ID and grant privileged roles to these cloud only accounts.

This one is really important in case of a cybersecurity incident / account compromise.
Microsoft Entra ID uses different tokens for different purposes. A general feature of tokens is that they keep logins active.
What is the token lifetime? Expiration? What are the token revocation options for different types of Microsoft Entra ID tokens?
